The Music Department of St. Catherine of
Siena
provides students with a strong foundation in
general, vocal, and instrumental music. The
curriculum focuses on music theory, performance and
history. Students in all grades learn to read,
write, and perform music.
Opportunities to formally perform are available
with the choral and band programs.
Middle school choir members are invited to
participate in a cantor program designed to develop them
for solo performances.
Grades five through seven are taught the history of
western music from the Renaissance Period through the 20th
Century Period music.
There is a strong focus on the role of the Catholic
Church in the history of music.
A developed appreciation for music allows students
to develop critical thinking skills, creative abilities,
and cultural awareness.
